Over the past three weeks, the Bitcoin price has witnessed an aggressive recovery in response to increasing inflow in the Spot Bitcoin ETFs. From the last swing low of $38550, the coin value surged over 37% to hit a high of $52865.
Amid the rally, the buyers provided a decisive breakout from the $49000 neckline resistance of the cup and handle pattern. This chart setup is known to drive a long accumulation phase before initiating a new rally.
Thus, the recent price indicated the BTC price escaped from a 22-month accumulation, indicating an early signal of a trend reversal.

Is Bitcoin Price Heading Below $50K?
Following a three-week rally, the Bitcoin price witnessed a significant roadblock at $52000. The renewed supply pressure triggers a 2% drop in BTC, impacting the altcoin market with the possibility of a new correction.
However, such pullbacks are common in an established rally as buyers take occasional breathers to replenish their strength. Concerning the cup and handle pattern breakout, the BTC price is likely to retest $49000 to signal sustainability for higher levels.
Should this level hold, the buyers may aim for a prolonged rally to $82640.
